5140 Quad-Ethernet Module SNMP Interface 5-1
SNMP Interface
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was created as a way to monitor and manage network devices
and hosts. SNMP is mostly a tool for network managers. Because of its simplicity it has also been used as a way to
monitor other devices (like the 5140 QEM). SNMP is defaulted to disabled and needs to be enabled to use.
A Management Information Base (MIB) file allows a SNMP client the ability to understand the structure of the
management data in a network device (in the case, the 5140 QEM).
5140 QEM Support
The 5140 QEM acts as a SNMP agent, providing data to a
SNMP Manager on demand. The 5140 QEM supports the
GET, GETNEXT, GETBULK, TRAP, and RESPONSE
commands (SNMP v1 and v2). The 5140 QEM does not
support the SET or INFORM commands (SNMP v1 and
V2). Also, the 5140 QEM does not support SNMP v3.
SNMP Configuration and Interface
To enable SNMP functionality in the 5140 QEM, go to the
Configuration → Edit Mode web page. Click the box.
Configuring the SNMP master varies depending upon the
client itself but needs the same base information:
• The IP address of the 5140 QEM
• The MIB file.
• The registers that will be read. Because these registers
will be predefined in the MIB, they can usually be dragged
and dropped in the SNMP master once the MIB is
imported
• Details of configuring the SNMP master are master
dependent.
To configure the 5140 QEM SNMP for capturing and
sending traps, go to the Configuration → Edit Mode web
page. The list of alarms that the 5140 QEM monitors is
listed in the Alarms Configuration window. Note that these
alarms are also used to initiate email alerts if SMTP is
enabled. The alarms available are shown in Figure 5-2.
On the Configuration web page of the 5140 QEM, type
the IP address of the computer that is running the SNMP
master. Both devices should be on the same subnet or the
Gateway Address in the Ethernet Module window.
Details of configuring the SNMP master to view TRAPs are
master dependent.
For a SNMP master configuration using the iReasoning
master, refer to document 381339-320.
